Ventilation Shaft at Underground Station in Pimlico by Paolozzi

---

Metal Sculpture at Pimilco Underground station ventilation shafts by Paolozzi (1924-2005) was a Scottish artist (obviously of Italian descent) with some claim to the invention of Pop Art. This is classic Paolozzi. Cogs, gears, satellites, insects, anonymous machine parts: the four panels seem to depict an exploding space station. (Now we’ll never know if ants can be trained to sort tiny screws in space.) It’s not pretty, but we challenge you to find a more interesting ventilation shaft.
